Selfmade soft focus lens on GH1

I love your homemade lens, Klaus. The results have a look of pin hole images. The closest lens I have that might do this is my Kodak Cine Needs a Good Clean Ektar.
But I have a Bell and Howell projection lens that I am going to play with, and also a pin hole kit for micro4/3
I guess we have to prepare ourselves for some pretty dreamy images :thumbs:

Thanks Keith!
That's the idea behind it, that dreamy look. I tried pinholes too, but they are way too slow. That lens I used is very fast, that I nearly need a ND filter to work with it.
Maybe I should have renamed that thread and invite others to show their selfmade lenses + results? What do you think about that? You made such a great job with your "bokeh" thread!!

Nice job, Klaus. How did you make the lens?
The above is from a lens made from the front section of a Jupiter-8, the rear module from a 50/2 Retina Xenon, set in an Industar-61 focus mount. The hard part was getting the stand-off between the modules correct for 50mm so that it would RF couple. I gave it to a friend for his M8. Now it is used on his M9.

For anyone wanting to experiment with handmade lenses, I recommend this ebook. The Author, John Evans has been making such lenses for years. He has a wealth on knowledge which he shares in this book.
